gypsygirl: The book gives no publication date, though it states it is frequently updated. Not. The president of Egypt changed nearly 10 years ago but the book still references the previous president as the current president. Clearly this book is not kept up to date.

tracksmithtracksmith: This book is very handy for the price, presenting interesting information on the culture of Egyptians. I have been to Egypt 3 times and will be returning again soon. I find this book to be reflective of what you can encounter in Egypt and please have an open, informed mind before you arrive there.
The book is broken into chapters:
1 - Land and People
2 - Values and Attitudes
3 - Customs and Traditions
4 - Making Friends
5 - Private and Family Life
6 - Timeout
7 - Travel, Health, and Safety
8 - Business Briefing
9 - Communicating
Although a small, relatively brief book, I would recommend this to anyone visiting Egypt. It will make you aware of how things are there.
I would also highly recommend Culture Shock: Egypt by Susan L. Wilson, which has even more dept and aspects covered. It was that book that I read before I went to Egypt the first time and that really helped me to open a window of the culture there.
